Tyre Safety Month Quiz

October is Tyre Safety Month and TyreSafe, together with Road Safety Wales, is raising awareness on the importance of regular maintenance checks and the dangers of defective and illegal tyres.

Motorists are being given the chance to demonstrate their tyre safety knowledge by taking part in the unique TyreSafe Test

Hosted on the tyresafe.org website, the quiz is designed to be a fun way to prove how much drivers know about tyre safety and highlight the potentially life-saving information they need to be more familiar with.

Those who complete the challenge will be ranked on a leader board, which not only records the correct answers but also the time in which the quiz is completed. Participants can share their score via social media links at the end.

Should they have answered incorrectly, they will be shown the correct answer – for those wanting more information, a button directs them to tyresafe.org where they can find further details on the subject. Thanks to TyreSafe’s extensive library of materials, this information may be informative guides or watching educational animations or videos.

Once participants have filled any gaps in their knowledge, they’re welcome to take the test again.

Stuart Jackson, Chairman of TyreSafe, said: “TyreSafe is continually seeking ways to engage motorists in the tyre safety message and the TyreSafe Test is an accessible and fun way to do just that. Those who don’t score as highly as they think they should tap the ‘More Info’ button at the end and then have another try. We hope all enjoy learning some potentially-invaluable safety advice along the way and wish everyone luck.”
